Why is no one talking about how unproductive it is to have to verify every "hallucination" ChatGPT gives you?

It depends upon what you use ChatGPT for and if you know how to use it productively. For example if I ask ChatGPT coding questions it is often very helpful. If I ask it history questions it constantly makes things up. You also again need to know how to use it, like people who claim ChatGPT is not helpful for coding you ask them how they use it and they basically just ask ChatGPT to do their whole project for them and when it fails they claim it is useless. But that's not the productive way to use it, the productive way to use it is like a replacement for StackOverflow or to provide you examples of how to use some library, or things like that, not doing your whole project for you. Of course, people often use it incorrectly so it's probably not a good idea to allow its use in the workplace, but for individual use it can be very helpful.
I used it today to find out how to do something on my Juniper that would have taken 45 minutes of sifting bullshit documentation. One question and I figured it out in 2 minutes.
This is similar to gabe Newell's idea of piracy. This is a convenience issue. And GPT solves some of it.
